LibraryThing Review

User Review - auntieknickers - LibraryThing

The early years of human history seem to have less information than might be available, particularly spotty in Asian history and pretty much nothing about Africa south of the Sahara. Still, an interesting browse and a good place to see what was happening in a given year.Read full review

About the author (1979)

Now in its third edition, "The Timetables of History" is the English-language version of Werner Stein's classic "Kulturfahrplan," which has sold millions of copies since it was published in 1946. Translated by Bernard Grun, it has been completely revised and rewritten for the English-speaking world.
